But they were notforgotten; the first words uttered when any of the young peoplemet were: "How is Jack¹?" "Seen Jill yet?" and all waited withimpatience for the moment when they could be admitted to theirfavorite mates, more than ever objects of interest now.

　　Meantime, the captives spent the first few days in sleep, pain, andtrying to accept the hard fact that school and play were done withfor months perhaps. But young spirits are wonderfully elastic² andsoon cheer up, and healthy young bodies heal fast, or easily adaptthemselves to new conditions. So our invalids³ began to mend onthe fourth day, and to drive their nurses distracted with efforts toamuse them, before the first week was over.

　　The most successful attempt originated in Ward⁵ No. I, as Mrs.

　　Minot called Jack's apartment, and we will give our sympathizingreaders some idea of this place, which became the stage whereonwere enacted⁶ many varied⁷ and remarkable⁸ scenes.

　　Each of the Minot boys had his own room, and there collected hisown treasures and trophies⁹, arranged to suit his convenience andtaste. Frank's was full of books, maps, machinery¹⁰, chemicalmesses, and geometrical drawings, which adorned¹¹ the walls likeintricate cobwebs. A big chair, where he read and studied with hisheels higher than his head, a basket of apples for refreshment
